I've spent around half an hour digging around in the Material Room and I can't see any reason for the inconsistency described in previous posts, nor any way to fix the problem.

My conclusion is that SmithMicro have made a simple, probably unintended change to something in the way shaders are calculated that has a drastic effect on renders.

In other words, they screwed this up, and for reasons I can't begin to fathom this wasn't picked up during testing.

I am desperately disappointed.
